Current routing, scorecard and par are not asserted. Named Course identity is supported by the championship result or the archived primary routing evidence. The archived City of San Francisco NGF report, PDF page 68 (printed page 62), identifies the 18-hole Harding Course and preparations for the 1937 Public Links. The City owner identifies Fleming as a separate nine-hole Course built in 1961, after both Public Links editions.
